They're showing constant re-runs of what has happened in NY and Washington on Cnn, for those who haven't seen everything...
I wonder when that huge cloud of smoke will dissapear..

Why would ANYONE cheer such a big loss of life?
Are the palestinians so blind as not to see what's really going on?
It looks to me like a lot of the gatherers were children who don't know what's actually going on . . . they think it's a game . ..

Plumes of smoke pour from the World Trade Center buildings in New York Tuesday, Sept. 11, 2001. Planes crashed into the upper floors of both World Trade Center towers minutes apart Tuesday in a horrific scene of explosions and fires that left gaping holes in the 110-story buildings.

sickening....
comment from Ha'aretz daily:
"I feel I am in a dream. I never believed that one day the United States would come to pay a price for its support to Israel," said Mustafa, a 24-year-old Palestinian gunman.
Several dozen Palestinian youths gathered in East Jerusalem to celebrate as well, honking out wedding tunes on their car horns. "We are so happy that America was hit. America is against us in supporting Israel," Suleiman, one of the demonstrators, said.
In Nablus, motorists honked their horns and gunmen fired into the air from assault rifles to cheer on the attacks which unfolded in the space of a few hours.

Correct me if i'm wrong:
The third explosion in the 2nd building destroyed around 50 stories..

Hmm, but also adults. I guess it's sheer stupidity
The problem is whom to hold responsible for all this and how to react? These are terrorists and not countries (which you could invade and take over, for example)?
Anyways, my thoughts are with all those in NYC/Washington. Let's hope that it looks much more terrible than it actually is, although that's pretty hard right-now.

A couple years ago there was the huge earthquake in turkey that killed 10-14,000 people and that made me sick.
The death toll here will probably be three times that (assuming all 50k people were at their desks in the WTC for the start of a 9am workday), and it takes well over two hours to evacuate those buildings via stairwells as shown per the previous bombings on the WTC.
How does it feel that humans can put one of the largest forces of nature to shame in almost the same amount of time? I can't think of a single natural event that killed 40-50,000 people at once.

The death count isn't at 50,000 yet . . . but I figure it might get as high as 25,000 people . . .
What a terrible incident . . .

Wait a minute here, no one said 50.000 people have died?
Btw don't forget about the floods in INdia or the quakes in china, but these are all natural causes...
This, this is pure horror.

you can be sure that this has been in planning since at least 1993 from the first attack, this is what they wanted the first time. do you comprehend just how much went into this and how many people had to be involved... hijacking what 8 American planes = security guards, baggage, pilots even maybe, etc etc etc all with their lips sealed as fanatics.
and who do you declare war on?
and who do you declare war on?

no, no one has said that 50k people have died yet. i'm making an estimate:
50k people at their desks when the plains hit, each taking out about 25-50 floors from direct damage and fireballs. (The buildings are ~110 stories tall i think). That's about 34%. The survivors start walking down the stairwells- i think it took 3 hours to evacuate everyone by stairs last time, so not everyone was out before they collapsed. and of the people who were out, the buildings then fell on some of them, emergency crews, and nearby buildings. i bet we see a minimum of 40,000 dead people.
